Our style editor Lauren Goodwin-Grafton has been browsing Amazon for the top 5 most expensive handbags that are worth every penny. You won’t believe some of the price tags…
If you’re feeling like your wardrobe isn’t bringing you any joy at the moment, then investing in a new bag for summer is one of the easiest ways to refresh your look- and thankfully, you don’t need to spend a fortune doing so.
Despite what some might say, I don’t believe you always need to invest in designer brands to look stylish. By all means spend the cash if you have it, however, for those of you who don’t, trust me when I tell you Amazon has tons of trending styles that look way more expensive than they actually are. In fact, some are pretty uncanny designer alternatives and I can’t believe the price differences.
However, we all know Amazon can be a minefield to navigate so you find it a struggle to search through the millions of items available on the website that’s why I’m here to do all of the hard work for you. If you’re wondering what’s hot on my fashion radar right now, here are the 5 handbags I’ve found that all look mega expensive, I’m obsessed….
1. Crescent Half Moon Bag
Shop it here: £25.99
I had to look twice when I saw this moon-shaped bag was under £30 I’ve seen similar designs at Arket, Ba&sh and Coach for hundreds. Made from grainy PU leather the style can be worn in a multitude of ways. It features an adjustable wide shoulder strap and soft handles, that can be removed to turn it into a handbag, clutch, shoulder bag or crossbody bag- genius!
For those looking for an ideal occasionwear bag that looks chic but is still roomy enough for your essentials, this style icon ticks all the boxes. Choose from 5 different colours too!
2. Vegan Leather Hand Woven Tote Handbag
Shop it here: £50
Are we over the woven bag trend yet? Nope! The style has become an iconic purchase thanks to Bottega. The designer version would set you back thousands, however, Amazon’s stylish alternative will help you to achieve the luxury look for a lot less.
Whether you like a pop of colour (green is a favourite of mine for summer especially paired with white), or prefer to adopt neutrals you’re bound to find a a shade to suit with a choice of 13 available.
3. Gold Noodle bag
Shop it here: £25.99
Want to know how to save over £3000 on your next bag purchase? Invest in this gorgeous gold noodle bag. Bottega’s design is currently retailing for £3,670 here.
Shoppers have been quick to give it rave reviews, with over 100 bought in the past month. ” Beautiful and good quality for the price” said one.
4 Saddle Bag
Shop it here: £38.99 here
A classic saddle bag will never go out of style, and you won’t believe this one isn’t leather. If you’re in the market for another designer alternative that won’t break the bank then this might be it. A similar style at Parisian brand Polene Paris would set you back over £400. “The quality of this bag is just like the £600 designer version!!” reviewed one happy buyer.
Again, this hobo style comes with an adjustable strap which allows you to wear it as a crossbody on casual, days and as a shoulder bag, if you want a smarter style for the office. It’s a wardrobe must-have!
5. JW PEI Women’s Joy Shoulder Bag
Shop it here: £75.65
JW PEI is a vegan bag brand founded in Los Angeles and if you’re particularly eco-conscious you’ll be pleased to know that all of their styles have been made from plastic bottles.
